title: [A resected case of huge advanced hepatocellular carcinoma(BCC)treated with intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy combined with interferon-alpha].
abstract: A58-year-old man with upper abdominal pain had a duodenal perforation and a huge hepatocellular carcinoma (BCC). Atumor embolism in the main portal vein was also seen. Extended right lobectomy against a huge tumor in right lobe and ethanol injection to a tumor in the lateral segment were performed. In addition, fluorouracil arterial infusion and interferon therapy(FAIT)were carried out. He has been for 4 years and 6 months without recurrence. Although prognosis of patients with a huge BCC is miserable even if curative hepatic resection is performed, it may be possible for adjuvant FAIT to suppress the recurrence after hepatic resection for huge BCC.
